8 Contributors Viva la Vida (Live in Buenos Aires) Lyrics [Intro] Let's go! Cantar con nosotros, let's go Oh whoa, oh whoa Oh whoa, oh whoa [Verse 1] I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning, I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listen as the crowd would sing Now the old King is dead, long live the King One minute, I held the key Next, the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand [Chorus] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason, I can't explain Once you'd gone, there was never Never an honest word That was when I ruled the world [Verse 2] It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in Shattered windows and the sound of drums And people couldn't believe what I'd become Revolutionaries wait for my head on a silver plate I'm just a puppet on a lonely string Whoa, for who would ever want to be king? [Chorus] I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason, I can't explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word That was when I ruled the world [Bridge] Turn the lights off in the stadium Ahora vamos a cantar juntos Más fuerte que nunca, go! Oh whoa, oh whoa Oh whoa, oh whoa Oh whoa [Chorus] Oh, I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing (Oh whoa) Roman Cavalry choirs are singing (Oh whoa) Be my mirror, my sword and shield (Oh whoa) My missionaries in a foreign field (Oh whoa) For some reason, I can't explain (Oh whoa) I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word That was when I ruled the world [Outro] World, world, world, world, world, world When I ruled the world, world, world, world World, world, world, world
